Answer:
In the event a person becomes unresponsive due to an alcohol overdose, follow these steps:
- Attempt to rouse them by pinching the sternum or ear hard enough to elicit pain
- If there's no reaction, request that someone else call 911
- In the meantime, lean the individual forward, ideally if they're on the floor to minimize the risk of falling
- Do not leave the individual alone under any circumstances, as there may be risks of assault if the area is unsafe
- When emergency services arrive, provide them with all relevant information about the activities and alcohol consumed
- The medical team will handle the rest
Note: even if the person is not unconscious but exhibiting certain symptoms, it doesn’t mean they don’t require assistance; they are also in jeopardy. Symptoms may include:
- Vomiting
- Decreased physical activity
- Seizures
- Fewer than 8 breaths per minute
- Lowered body temperature
